TEA-KETTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,736, datecl October 31, 1882,

(No model.)

To all 'whom 'it may concer'n Be it known that I, WILLIAM WARWICK, of the city of Buffalo, in the eoun ty of Eric and State ot' New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Kettles, of which the following is a specification.

The objeetof this invcntion is toform asingle strong` and durable connection ot' the spout with the body of the ket tle; and my invention consists in dividing' the spout vertically and forming` each half of the spout in one piece with the adjaeent portion of the band or body of the kettie, whereby the joint around the root or base of the spout, connecting,I` the latter with the body of thekettle, is dispensed with.

In the accompanying` (lrawings, Figure l is a perspective view ot' a kettle provided with my im provcment. Fig. 2 isa view of the blank from which the body or band of the kettle and the spout are formed. Fig'. 3 is an inside view of one part of the spout and the adjacent portion of the body stamped to the proper shape. Fig. 4 is a front elevation of both parts of the spont and the adjacent portions of the body.

Like letters of reference ret'er to like parts in the several figures.

A represents the top, and B the bottom, of the kettle, which may be of any well-known and suitable construction. i

O represents the cylindrieal body or band of thekettle, connected with the top and bottom by seams a and b in a well-known manner.

D represents the spout, connected at its root or base with the body O. The spout D is composed of two parts or halves joined together on their upper and lower sides by longitudinal seams orjoints lying` in the same Vertical plane. Each half of the spout is formed in one piece with the adjacent portion of the band O. The latter may be formed of a single continuous piece extending` all around the kettle and having,` both parts of the spout formed at its ends, as represented in Fig'. 2; or it maybe composed of several pieces or sections secured together by seaming' or otherwise; but in either case each half of the spout is formed in one piece with the adjacent portion of the body or band O. The halves of the spout are formed with the adjacent portions of the body by cutting' a blank t'ioin a suitable piece of sheet metal and statnping` or Shaping the same between suitable dies. The contiguous edges of the two parts ot' the spont and the ends d of the band U are seeured together' by soldering or in any other suitable manner. The joint around the base of the spont, eonnectiug,` the latter with the body of the kettle, is formed by simply bending the metal of which the parts are composed, thereby forming alig'ht and strong'eonnection o t' the spont with the body, which is very durable, and which is not liable to leak, like ordinary soldcred joints. A kettle provided with this improvement can be prodnced at less cost than ordinary kettles.

I claim as my invention- A kettle having' a spout divided vertically into two parts, each formed in one piece with the adjacent portion of the body or band of the kettle, and both parts secured together by joints on the upper and lower sides of the spout, substantially as set t'orth.
